PERFORMANCE METRICS
The Equitable Transportation Fund evaluates the impacts of awarded grants through metrics that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. They are designed to provide investment direction for future Equitable Transportation Fund Request for Proposal (RFP) by showing progress against fund goals:
-
Goal 1. Free people from the cost and health burdens of carbon-emitting cars by increasing equitable, affordable, and safe access to emission-free transportation options.
-
Goal 2. Gap-fill within essential advocacy group operations, especially those led by priority communities.
-
Goal 3. Support collaboration that saves money and time in advancing equitable, affordable, safe, and emissions-free mobility within priority communities and across regions.
These metrics capture a variety of data points that are used to tell multiple story lines of impact. Measurement is based on annual assessment of portfolio data collected during final grant reporting.
